Canada extends Ebola-related travel restrictions for another 30 days, keeping an entry ban in place for people coming from Ebola-affected countries. Officials say the measures continue to suspend decisions on certain immigration and visa applications while the ban remains active.
Across reports, the extension is described as prolonging an existing “limbo” for tens of thousands of people whose residency applications have been suspended since May. The restriction applies to residents of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan, and it keeps immigration processes on hold for applicants covered by the policy.
The outlets provide the same core details—an additional 30-day extension and the continuation of suspended immigration and visa decisions—while emphasizing different impacts. CityNews and the Globe and Mail focus on the number of affected applicants and the continued suspension period, while Global News specifies that the hold on decisions continues until Sept. 28.
